Wait til you learn about MCP and how much better it has gotten in the last 3 months
For a certain very specific usage of the word "better"
Honestly thought this was a snarky Tron reference at first. Then I realized this is Lemmy and not reddit and so looked it up. Very interesting, but not sure how that helps it do math better.
In theory at least, if you have a math problem, and a protocol for how to ask a real calculator to compute it, the model can ask a real calculator to compute the value of an expression.
I don’t know if anyone has done it, but it is feasible. Could also be extended to more robust solving tools. Think matlab and the like.
